        The article notes: "其間有人提起景福(280)為削減成本，未來擬把中環總店外的店舖關閉。一家曾在珠寶行業佔重要地位的公司竟淪落至此，未生感唏噓，但亦有原因。 回憶往事，景福起步和周大福(1929)和周生生(116)接近，創辦人楊志雲當年較周大福及周生生主事人年紀大，"

        From Google Translate: "Someone mentioned that King Fook (280) plans to close the stores outside the main store in Central in the future in order to cut costs. It is not a shame that a company that once occupied an important position in the jewelry industry has fallen to this point, but there are also reasons. Recalling the past, King Fook’s start was similar to that of Chow Tai Fook (1929) and Chow Sang Sang (116).

        The article notes: "With seven decades of expertise in high jewellery, there’s no doubting King Fook when it comes to sourcing the most desirable jewellers to introduce to Hong Kong. ...

Since its early days, King Fook specialised in the trade of jade, silver and gold ingot pieces, an area they still claim unparalleled expertise to this day.

        The article notes: "Fifty years ago this week, at the mid-autumn festival of 1949, King Fook Goldsmiths opened at 5 Bonham Strand, close to the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society (then in a different building, but on the same Mercer Street site where it now stands). ... King Fook soon opened up a branch in Macau, which was far-sighted because in the late '40s the Hong Kong government decided to regulate the import and export of gold. ... In the same year, 1959, King Fook diversified into the jewellery business. Naturally, it concentrated on the pure "yellow" gold, which is rarely seen in the West and is so prized in the East. ... This summer, King Fook opened a shop in Pacific Place called Masterpieces by King Fook (although the "by King Fook" label is in noticeably smaller script than "Masterpieces" on all the signage). It sells watches by such upmarket designers as Franck Muller and Audemars Piguet, and precious jewellery made in King Fook's workshops, with settings of white gold or platinum."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow King Fook Holdings (traditional Chinese: 景福集團有限公司; simplified Chinese: 景福集团有限公司) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
